(((((((notme9)))))))

I love Briere. The writing is so sensitive and tender about trauma therapy and the experience of the client.

Notme9- I too experience the re-experiencing of the trauma as so much harder than the original incident. I think I was so shut down when things would happen that I immeadiately would go back to business as usual to gain the equalibrium. (Imagine the coping skills we have to have in this...but that is off topic a little...) Now, the revisit is actually more like experiencing the incident for the first time. It is beyond awful. And all of the ways I had to deal with it then I have to disarm in order to heal.
